TJ Walker asks whether success or confidence comes first and answers that neither does. He argues the essential precursor is a willingness to try and be willing to fail; repeated attempts lead to some successes, which then build confidence. The clip emphasizes accepting being inexperienced or ‘awful’ at many things as a starting habit for growth.

It's been said that to be successful, you need confidence. But to have confidence, it's nice to have some successes under your belt. So which one really comes first? To me, the answer is neither. The first thing you need is a willingness to simply try things and fail and be okay with that. If you try a lot of things in life, some things you'll be successful in, and that will build your confidence. You can go deeper and deeper and deeper those niches, but the starting point is a willingness to accept that most of us are awful at most things in life. That's okay.
